Thanks. I'd already tried the parallel builds flag (/m)with most of our MSBuild calls. I had to revert about half of them when they started failing to compile in parallel mode. That's probably something I should look into further. I'll have a look at the other suggestions in the article over lunch.

I wouldn't say it doesn't matter, using the correct option demonstrates an understanding of the difference between the 2, (not for a second suggesting you don't John) even tho we should never have to worry about the cost of the post increment any more. It's good practice to write what you mean and use the best tool for the job.

++count;
as you're not using the value before the increment,
but I assume this gets optimized out anyway.

That deserves points! :-D

So this is high school homework then?

Hey Dylan, I mistakenly reported your solution as spam/abusive when I was trying to report the original post. I'm not sure how to undo the report. Any ideas?
And I apologise.

He's just removing the original question again on both posts, and thinks we're all a bit low for haing changed it back. I don't think there's any point in giving these any more attention.

So you've written some code then?

Peter Mulholland 1-Jul-11 11:30am View

Awwwww, geeee wiz. Thanks man! :laugh:

It's not running, or it's producing the wromng results?
At what point does the code you've written fail?

Yep, I think the "(BONUS MARKS)" on question 4, and the last paragraph point to homework.
The poster has just posted the homework question without identifying any area of the question he has a problem with.

stdin stands for standard input
stdout stands for standard output

writing data is output, you need to use stdout for this.
you should only be reading from stdin.

No incremental builds, everything is "from scratch" or supposed to be.
[edit]
We call MSbuild with the /t:Clean flag first before each build.
Component builds are ordered by dependency, so when a component is built, it's dependencies will have been built already, or it can build any that haven't been.
[/edit]
We have 1 over-night build for sandcastle documentation.
There's some fxcop, unit tests and coverage stuff done after each component builds, however I have timestamps outputting at the start and end of the MSBuild call and each of the NAnt targets that perform other functions in my build script.
The time increase is in the MSBuild call, which unfortunately doesn't output any intermediate times.

I have picked up a book recently on MSBuild, but I haven't had the time to do much investigation on customizing the MSBuild targets to try to get more info on where the time is increasing.

We did also add Post Sharp to the build recently, but I think it had been in the build a while before this issue popped up.

Do you need to load the Membership details into Membership from somewhere before calling GetUserNameByEmail?
Is it possible "emailaddress" (not a valid email address) is not in Membership and the return value of null should be expected for this address?
